Caden meets Ryan Leaf

When I was in college, Ryan Leaf was the quarterback for the Cougars.  He was a great asset to a great team that broke records and played well.  After graduating, he made some bad choices and was not the stellar role model you would hope he could be. 

Well, we ran into him at the Cougar game on Saturday.  He is doing a book tour.  He is actually turning his life around and trying to right some wrongs.  Based on that, I wish him well. 

Since we saw him, we thought "why not let Caden have a picture?"  So here is Caden's 15 minutes of fame today.  After we took the picture, his publicist asked if they could post the picture on thier facebook page too.  I said sure.  Then my Dad recognized her as Margo Myers - past tv personality from the west side of the state.  After that, they realized that none of them took a picture and asked me to e-mail it to them. 

On a side note, we went to Northern Quest the next day and ... Ryan Leaf was there selling and signing books.  We purchased a book and it is signed for us, so stay tuned for the book review...

Cougar Football Saturday!

What is not to love about Butch Cougar?  What a great mascot!  Caden loves Butch Cougar and was glad to see him again!

Caden, my dad & I headed to Pullman on Saturday to see the Cougars take on Stanford.  We were hoping for a miracle and the cougs would win.  That didn't happen, but we sure had fun walking around campus, having ice cream at ferdinand's and having lunch at the fieldhouse before the game!  Go Cougs!

Are we really routing for the Cougs?

Last weekend, we went to the cougar game. That's right, we were part of history. The school's worst loss in something like 24 years, and the cougars didn't even get past the 50 yard line. I am telling you, they didn't even "coug it" because they would have had to be doing well and then blow it!

We had bought these tickets back in July, little did we know what an extreme blowout we would be witness to. This is a photo of the end of the game. This is all the reserved seats that people abandoned. Yes, there were others like us that stayed to the end. This was Justin's first live college football game. We pointed out, it can only get better!

This was at halftime, look how many people left already.

Official score board need we say more.
